The only problem was I needed to use my own group, and things didn't happen until I did. It wasn't a real country sound, what I did. I've listened to it, and I think it was more a west coast rock thing, you know? But it fit. It was country, but it was my own interpretation of country.

Don't you be so nice to me I fall in love so easily.
Waylon Jennings
Hitting the bottle again, ever than I've drunker been. Or is it drunker than I've ever been?
Waylon Jennings
Lately I've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame. Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame.
Waylon Jennings
I love Johnny Cash, and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business, but no, he's never been the rebel.
Waylon Jennings
To me a guitar is kind of like a woman. You don't know why you like 'em but you do.
Waylon Jennings
Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
Waylon Jennings
Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks.
Waylon Jennings
Honesty is something you can't wear out.
